Brazilian footballer Neymar is accused of plotting an armed assault against a journalist investigating his alleged homophobic conduct.
The journalist, an LGBT+ activist called Agripino Magalhães, has filed a lawsuit against the world famous striker in the Court of Justice of São Paulo, Brazilian outlet
Magalhães claims he was told to “shut up or be killed” after investigating a violent incident between Neymar and his mother’s bisexual boyfriend, Tiago Ramos, back in June.
The journalist says he was offered a bribe of $350,000 to withdraw the complaint but he refused, which prosecutors say led to him being mobbed and robbed. Magalhães said the only reason he “wasn’t killed because the gun didn’t go off”.
